Carl Rabus
1930s Brussels Harbor Scene - Original Acrylic Seascape Painting with Boats

1937

About the Item

Experience the charm and maritime beauty of 1930s Brussels with this stunning original vintage harbor scene by acclaimed artist Carl Rabus. Painted in 1937, this exceptional acrylic on board artwork captures the lively atmosphere of the Brussels harbor, where several boats float along the water, framed by the city’s distinctive architecture in the background. Rabus' skilled brushwork and dynamic composition bring a sense of movement, while his rich color palette—featuring deep blues, warm earth tones, and soft atmospheric hues—enhances the painting’s depth and realism. This one-of-a-kind seascape is a remarkable example of Rabus' ability to blend modernist sensibilities with traditional maritime themes. His expressive use of light and shadow adds drama to the piece, evoking the daily rhythm of life along the harbor. Signed and dated (1937) by Carl Rabus in the lower right corner, this exquisite painting is also signed and titled on the reverse. It is elegantly presented in a custom vintage frame measuring 28.25 x 36.25 x 0.25 inches, with an image size of 22.5 x 28.5 inches. A timeless maritime masterpiece, ideal for collectors, art enthusiasts, and those who appreciate the rich history of European cityscapes.
